Improving Code-Switching ASR with Code-Mixing Guided Synthetic Speech

Researchers propose a code-mixing guided synthetic speech generation framework to improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) for multilingual code-switching scenarios. By optimizing synthetic data generation using the Code Mixing Index metric, the method demonstrates significant error rate reductions on Mandarin-English speech datasets, addressing a critical limitation in training data availability for code-switched ASR systems.

Can Voice Agents Handle Bilingual Customers? Benchmarking Frontier ASR on Code-Switched Speech

Researchers benchmark frontier automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems on code-switched speech, where bilingual speakers mix languages mid-conversation. The study evaluates how well modern voice AI handles this common real-world scenario, revealing performance gaps that matter for customer service applications.

Beyond Bilingual Transfer: Multilingual Code-Switching in Instruction Tuning

Researchers demonstrate that multilingual code-switching—mixing multiple languages within training data—improves large language model performance across four languages (English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese) simultaneously, extending previous bilingual findings to truly multilingual settings and showing consistent performance gains on cross-lingual benchmarks.

Conditioning LLMs to Generate Code-Switched Text

Researchers developed a methodology to fine-tune large language models (LLMs) for generating code-switched text between English and Spanish by back-translating natural code-switched sentences into monolingual English. The study found that fine-tuning significantly improves LLMs' ability to generate fluent code-switched text, and that LLM-based evaluation methods align better with human preferences than traditional metrics.
